States Get Bigger Role States Get Bigger Role
President Ford asks Congress to cut the highway trust fund size and dedicate it to Interstate system finish and maintenance. States could raise gasoline taxes by one cent, with federal tax drops in those states. The plan also consolidates highway grants and shifts funds toward general revenues and state projects. Ford signals a mass transit emphasis but keeps other highway taxes in the trust. The proposal aims to fuel completion of the 42,500 mile Interstate network and shifts billions in funding, amid congressional debate.
